1990 Talbot Express 2.0L Petrol · G97 FDC

The vehicle passed the most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 72,694 miles, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recurring front wheel bearing play and minor oil leak indicate a stable but unresolved maintenance pattern rather than improvement. The mileage has risen from 64,152 miles in 2017 to 72,694 miles in 2026, averaging about 950 miles per year over the last nine years, with noticeable jumps between the 2023 and 2025 tests (69,035 to 71,680 miles) that suggest periods of increased use or extended standing, but no major gaps in the registration history. A buyer should inspect the front wheel bearings for play, examine brake pipes and calipers for corrosion or binding, assess suspension bushes and shock absorber condition, verify track rod end and ball joint movement, and look for structural rust on chassis rails and exhaust mountings, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the record.
